Little River ???

You open circuit people are ruining it for everyone. Your bubbles blow the vis, cause WNS in bats and kill Manatees! LOL

Well, buy me a rebreather, and I will never blow bubbles that will disturb the silt on the ceiling ever again! I would prefer the Prism2...

Gee, I seem to find the problem to be you rebreather people bouncing from the floor to ceiling because you can't figure out your buoyancy

... not to mention the silt angels.



(Kind of like snow angels, but at the bottom of a downward passage, formed when new rebreather divers try to control their descent by taking in a big breath, only to realize that doesn't work.)

Actually, we need OC, and even some scooters to "dust" the cave, and let the silt all blow out

I just had an image of Ranger Janet with her dust brush - sweeping out the caves the way she swept off the picnic tables and tank stands when she was at Peacock!

Went up just past the well casing today and the silt is washed all the way up there into the cave. The viz was in the 50' range but dropped to closer to 30' past the well casing. I jumped over to the old deep section on the way out and a short ways up the new deep section just checking things out and viz was pretty good through there as well. Percolation was more apparent this dive than I'm used to at little river. I headed back to the florida room to pick up my stage and took the serpentine passage out towards the harper tunnel and dropped my stage again there. Went up the harper tunnel just past the first fairly tight restriction and the silt has coated that area and wiggling through blows it pretty bad. The flow is up enough that it will partially clear on the way out so you're only holding on to the line for 50' or so after coming through that restriction.

All in all a very enjoyable 3hr dive. Wish I had a scooter...my legs were killing me lol.

What's so unbelievable about the dive? A set of 108's and a stage last a LONG time at 100'

Yea but I would bet uit is priced well outside of a starving medical students budget
